    2500rl slide topper?

    I just took possession of my 2020 2500rl and really enjoy the layout. However, I am having trouble finding a slide topper that will mount above the refrigerator. There seems to be less than 2 1/2" available to mount the flange on the slide.
    Has anyone encountered this problem and if so, how did you fix it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I haven't had any answers to my problem yet. I believe that I'll have to get someone to custom manufacture a set of brackets.

    I've been looking at the Lippert Solera slide topper (https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Awnings/...000182037.html) on our 2018 2500 RL but also had the same concern.

    Yesterday measured the clearance over the refrigerator vent at 2 3/4". I just found this comment about the bracket size on etrailer.com (https://www.etrailer.com/question-277557.html). Based on this, the slide topper should work.

    I also posted a question to etrailer.com regarding this and here is the answer.

    Our dealer installed a Solara Care Free slide cover on our 2500RL. The attached photo shows it in place. There is about an inch or so of clearance between the bracket and the top refrigerator vent. Hope this helps!

    Installed the Solera topper from etrailer last week. Fits well.
